Bangs

Image
I got Isabelle's bang trimmed for the first time:

Tooth

Her top left canines coming in! Now she has 18 teeth!

Firsts

Image
After visiting the house, Jackson & Isabelle went to West End Creamery for the very first time.  And then to Purgatory chasm for the first time. 

Teeth

Izzie is cutting her top right 2 year molar and the other 3 canines are extremely slowly coming. Poor kiddo. 4 teeth at once. Not fun.

New orthotics

Image
Izzie's new orthotics came in. She's a size 3 foot but a size 5 shoe. 

14th tooth

Daaaamn. Girls getting bottom left canine. Three at once. Ouch.

Hearing test

Image
I am a little frustrated. Isabelle has not been cooperative for hearing tests so they were supposed to do one while she was under anesthesia getting her tonsils removed... but apparently they didn't. So we had another one today and SURPRISE! the two year old would not cooperate. Shocking.  Her left tube is functioning well but she does not have a tube in her right ear and the hole closed up so surprise - she also has congestion in that ear.  She hears better in her left ear and "borderline normal". She hears voices better than sounds. But ultimately, they can't make a judgement call because she wouldn't cooperate. UGH. 

Tooth

Izzie is getting yet another tooth. Her top left canine.

Food

Image
The amount of different foods Izzie eats is crazy for a toddler. Olives, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, red peppers... you name it, she eats it. 

Tooth

Isabelle is getting her 12th tooth - bottom right canine.

Tooth

Worst mom ever. I didn't even notice that another one of her teeth came in. Her back left molar On top.

Easter bunny

Kids saw the Easter bunny today!

Updates

Image
Isabelle is now a full, real walker. She's been doing laps around the kitchen and up and down the hallway all by herself. She has begun to say two word phrases. So far only " hi dada" and when she plays with her dolls - she puts it in the crib with a blanket over it and says "nuh night baby" - but still. She has memorized books and begun to fill in missing words. She sings entire songs to herself (although most words are gibberish, the cadence is the same). She's begun to memorize the alphabet song and can fill in letters when you stop. She follows commands really well. She's started to give hugs and kisses. Several times she's picked up a wrapper on the ground and walked it to the trash can, opened the door, and put it in all by herself. And you would never even know she had tonsils & adenoids removed this week. She hasn't really cried. She's been eating and drinking everything as normal. This kid is a tro...

Day 2

Image
Scott stayed overnight with Izzie. She was struggling with being on room air so they threw a nasal cannula in. She got down to 74 without it. You want to be at 96 or above.  She got a bath this morning. She ate cheerios and yogurt but didn't want to drink anything really. Her oxygen levels were up to 99. Should be going home soon.  She is in a good mood and playing. Doesn't appear to be in too much pain.  She decided she REALLY wanted to feed herself and would not let me feed her.  We were released round noon to go home.
